Formal Presidential hopeful John Edwards got off the fence and is now endorsing Barack Obama. Not that I’m surprised that the guy who enjoys $250 haircuts and owns his own squash court is endorsing the fella that likes to bitch about the high cost of arugula.
What a surprise!
If you’ve been following my ramblings on this blog, you know I never have been a big fan John Edwards. He always pegged the red on my internal fake-o meter.
I don’t have much respect for personal injury lawyers. Though I am more then willing to admit that they serve an important function in society, that doesn’t mean I admire a man that made millions because a young girl had her lower intestines sucked out by a faulty pool filter. I admire millionaires that made their fortune by building something or creating something. Two things had to happen for Edwards to make money; A doctor had to make a mistake and a patient had to suffer because of it.
Edwards dropped out of the race over three months ago. Why did it take this long to pick a bandwagon to jump on? Good thing he came in third-place for the Democratic nomination. Making quick, decisive decisions obviously ain’t the man’s thing.
Unless of course it’s about where to get a haircut.
“Edwards dropped out of the race over three months ago. Why did it take this long to pick a bandwagon to jump on?”
Simple: To stave the bleeding from Obama’s dramatic West Virginia loss. Getting the self-proclaimed champion of the Blue Collar class to endorse Obama stops the “Hilary Won” storyline in its tracks and sweeps it under the rug, which the Obama shills in the media desperately want to do.
Plus, the guy’s probably angling for VP…not that Obama will pick him, but hope springs eternal, right?
Oh, I know the real reason the endorsement was announced when it was announced. It just seems to me that he could have done this the day before, the day of, or the day after the North Carolina primary.
That’s when he voted.
